Re: Duas for warding offf evil from oneself and one's family
^ and ^^ true. I just wanna add my two cents. Its true; we make duas and expect Allah SWT to fulfill them without stopping for a second realising ke apne aamaal to woh nahi jo aik ache Muslim ke hoone chahye hain, BUT, that doesn't mean we should be put off by our iman and NOT make duas. It hurts me when ppl say that iv'e committed so many sins, there's no point of praying/ doing dua anymore... Allah SWT is ghafoor-ur-raheem! we ought to have faith in Him, but we ought to fear Him as well (which is what we forget in our daily lives). Insaan sharminda zaroor hota hai, but the duas shouldn't stop, but we should do something about the sharmindigi... ok, i'm too hungry to think anymore.
